Our take
Bezos.ai was founded to make a difference for the increasing number of companies selling online. It provides a one-stop-shop for eCommerce logistics, allowing sellers to eliminate the hassle of handling storage, last-mile delivery, returns, and fulfilment. This reduces their operational complexity and allows businesses to focus on sales and growth.
Bezos isn't alone in riding the eCommerce wave, with a host of competing third party logistics providers offering similar services. However, it stands apart with its wide range of integrations, supporting more than 30 eCommerce platforms, while offering real time order tracking and 2 hour ticket response time as standard. It also has fulfilment centres across the UK and Europe, allowing for rapid delivery and returns across a far larger territory than the competition.
It does this while focusing on sustainability. The company has received grants from the UK government for green delivery, green packaging as well as tools for sustainable fulfilment. Bezos is committed to helping clients with delivery options and speed whilst also reducing waste and emissions, and this has helped it compete and grow steadily in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
